Reserving Midnight Run Vehicles
Plan to take two or three vehicles on your run. More than that and you have difficulty navigating together through lights and city streets, and parking becomes problematic at some stops. And crowding everyone into one vehicle results in little room for cargo, and creates chaos distributing goods at the large stops.
Drivers must be over 21 and have clean driving records. See Assemble a Crew
If you need to borrow a vehicle, Midnight Run owns three vans that are assigned to volunteer groups by request. These vans are loaned out for the evening clean and full of gas, and should be returned CLEAN and FULL OF GAS. (A policy that is emphasized because it is sometimes overlooked.) Since there are seven runs most weekend nights, Midnight Run cannot lend vans to every group.
- Silver van — Basic Ford Transit with seating and cargo space through both the rear and side doors. Seating capacity is 8, though it can be rigged for 6, 10, 11 or 13 if you need more or less cargo space.
- White Sprinter (Diesel) — High-top Sprinter diesel van with built-in shelving for easy sorting and storage of clothes. Seating capacity is 8. When loading this van, do not put anything heavy on the top two shelves in back.
- Red van — Basic Econoline model with three bench seats and cargo space through both the rear and side doors. Seating capacity is 8, though it can be rigged for 11 if you give up cargo space through the side door.
